It would be nice to see some common problems and weak points to check out before buying a used one. Just things an owner would know and someone would like to be informed of before looking at a used one.

Great list other than that though, thanks.

Those pretty much are the weak points. Engine mounts, thermostat and ECT sensor, brakes wear quickly, camshaft position sensor, and the fuel pressure regulator are all VERY common problems.
